54 Parties (representing 80 countries and 59% of global transport CO2 emissions) have submitted new Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in the past couple of months. (2/9)
By region, Latin America leads in terms of submitted NDCs. This wasn't the case back in 2015 when the first NDCs were submitted. It shows that Latin America has strengthened their climate change efforts. (3/9)
8 of the 54 new submissions include a specific emissions reduction target for transport CO2 emissions. In the previous round of NDCs, only 8% of NDCs had such a target, now it's 15%!
See transport emission mitigation targets here (4/9):
These emission mitigation targets are supported through several indirect targets on transport (such as shift to sustainable mobility modes, renewables in transport etc.). (5/9)
Transport in the new NDCs can be easily characterized through the AVOID-SHIFT-IMPROVE framework. Read about it here: transformative-mobility.org/assets/publica…
The assessment shows that the majority of mitigation measures in the new NDCs focus on IMPROVE. (6/9)
The most common activities under IMPROVE are any measures focusing on electric mobility. Many countries have set electric mobility targets in the new NDCs (7/9):
What is the impact of #COVID19 on mobility in different economies? A thread!
Low-income countries in Africa and Latin America show that COVID-19 disrupts the mobility to #transit the most. In Asia, mobility in low-income countries for all destinations is highly affected. (1/4)
Comparing mobility impact due to #coronavirus for low, middle and high-income countries shows that the overall change is the lowest in the poorest countries. It can be interpreted that people in low-income countries have less possibilities to change their travel behavior. (2/4)
Data from a week later (5 April) shows that the #COVID19 impact on #mobility has increased! Almost every income group and every region experiences the strongest negative impact on the mobility to transit stations. (3/4)
